October 23, 2017 by Sunil Sonkar

Do you have clarity in your career? Gaining it is similar to gaining clarity in other areas of life and is not an overnight job. However, there’s some specific things to do so that you can get into the right direction, at least in such profession that will satisfactorily offer you good pay check.

Here are some tips to follow to make a perfect career:

The first and foremost thing is to test out multiple careers provided you get the chance. You can start with a PR profession and later change to something else when you realize it is not either your forte or passion. Find such company that offers job rotation so that you can test various departments to get various experiences without jumping ship permanently. Just remember not to stick to such career that you are not passionate of.

Second thing to note is to uncover new interests by volunteering within your community like running a charity or mentoring at your university. Play such role that is different from your day job as this way you can explore something new and still don’t have much commitment.

You can also take up a side business, provided you have a good idea and is hesitant in pursuing it as a full-time profession. This way you even don’t have to quit your primary job. Just wait for the right time to place your resignation. It will be like when you are closer to the clarity you crave and also become your own boss.

Meditation is highly recommended for everyone. It will bring your mind to a quieter phase where there is no confusion, distraction and disorganization. Let me quote here what one of the famous career experts said. He noted, “A few times in my life I’ve had moments of clarity where the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think.”

If you follow these things properly, one fine morning you may wake up realizing what you are meant to do.

One thing cannot be guaranteed at any point of time that ideas cannot change over time as people are evolving constantly. So, keep experimenting and try to find out what lights you up. Believe me, you may even be surprised to know what type of career you will be making down the road.
